Georgia Southern basketball played long-time rival Appalachian State Saturday night. The Eagles came in the game with a six game winning streak on the line. Also the Eagles came into the game first in the SunBelt. Sophomore guard Tookie Brown scored a season high 32 points, two points off his career high.

The Eagles haven’t won seven in a row since 2011-2012.

Next up is second place Coastal Carolina Monday the 23rd. This is Coastal Carolina’s first season in the SunBelt, they have a conference record of 4-2. This is the first time the two teams have faced each other since 2009. Coastal Carolina is coming off a 20 point lost to Georgia Southern’s in state rivals Georgia State.

Hopefully Georgia Southern can keep the winning streak going.
